Anglers interested in some fun with big bull redfish should try the Pensacola Bay Bridge at night. Boaters and kayakers have been catching good numbers of big redfish going from light to light targeting them.

Good numbers of white trout also are around the bay bridge, both night and day. They can be caught using artificial lures, cut bait or live bait. ...

Sheepshead are being caught around the bridges, and a few are starting to show up on the jetties in Pensacola Pass. But the big females haven't started chewing the hooks off just yet.
